Japanese beetles - emerging invasive pest of home gardens and local agriculture
Tuesday, May 17 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
The Japanese beetle (Popillia japonica) is a non-native pest that feeds on over 300 plants.

Join Cassie Cichorz of the Washington State Department of Agriculture for a talk on the Japanese beetle as an emerging pest. This presentation will detail threats of the pest itself, share trapping efforts, and teach you how to safeguard for Japanese beetle.
